How it works

Forest OPS is Microsoft Windows based with a SQL database backend. User based access provides data security remembered user settings for ease of use. Forest OPS is typically integrated with other business data sources in order to minimize redundancy and maximize utility.

  • Easy report creation.

User Security, Plant Wizard

User Security:

  • Settings and preferences are determined by the user and remembered between sessions.
  • Data access and security is determined by the user group for each user.
